Box set potential

[SteveMacD]

I think the best case scenario for the 87-95 years is something similar to the 69-74 box.

Disc 1: BTM
Disc 2: Time
Disc 3: Comp songs, rarities, outtakes, demos
Disc 4: Live songs

Disc 3 and 4 of that are pretty dope. Comp songs are new songs that were on GH and The Chain right?

I wouldn't include Make Me a Mask. Keep it Lindsey-less

Yes, although I would still keep Make Me A Mask. I get the sentiment Of keeping it Lindsey-less, but it should still be on it since it was only released on a Fleetwood Mac comp. Assuming there’s soundboard audio recordings, I’d have Landslide, Tear It Up, and Go Your Own Way from the last night of the BTM tour, which all feature Lindsey, Don’t Stop from the Inauguration, and SYLM from the Super Bowl.

Ok, I buy it. Put Make Me a Mask on
Isn't Lindsey singing the chorus on Paper Doll?
That song's a classic.

And, if it was up to me, this would be the band photo on the back.

I’m torn about Make Me a Mask, but ultimately I’d be ok whether it was on a Deluxe Edition or not. I love all your suggestions here, but I’d also include the videos of the Super Bowl and Inaugeral performances, if at all possible. That seems unlikely due to copyright, etc, but yeah, at least the audio. Plus the concert performance of Skies the Limit, taped live at Red Rocks and the only time FM performed it live, for the video. And of course, the videos of As Long As You Follow, Save Me, Skies the Limit, and Love Shines, and throw in In the Back of My Mind and Paper Doll, I guess. Man, I would also kill to have the video performances of the album FM did for some other country, maybe Japan or China? It used to be available on YouTube but has disappeared. It was all lip sync, but still incredible to see FM perform Freedom, Love is Dangerous, Save Me, etc.

A Deluxe Edition would have to include Game of Love and Victim of Love, two incredible songs I can’t believe were left off BTM!

What did Rick ever do to you?

Nothing. However, these were the core of that era, be it with Rick and Stevie or Bekka and Dave.

Take that pic and superimpose a floating Stevie head plucked from
the Tango video and she might okay it

Is Billy in communique with anyone in Fleetwood Mac?

I would guess that he is(and always has been) with Mick. Mick always needs people for his side projects, so he wouldn't want to burn any bridges.

Billy is the only one of the 87-95 crowd Mick didn’t work with in 2020. He did that “Feelin’ Alright” Zoom with Dave Mason and the Doobies and remade “These Strange Times” with Rick and Bekka.

My opinion is that Billy destroyed that relationship by leaking Lindsey's firing so that he could bring traffic to his online store.

Mick's got Rick. No Billy at the Peter Green London concert!

Maybe he did. I'd give anything if I'd screen shot Billy's post before he deleted it. If you didn't see it(it was pretty long), but it was basically "so Lindsey is out, and they didn't call me?"(with a pretty pissed tone to it). It was deleted a little while later.

WHO wouldn't be pissed?

But truth told, Billy wasn't up to it(well, they're all senior citizens...) because he had to have heart surgery just a few weeks after this happened.

It was something like “Lindsey Buckingham is out of Fleetwood Mac and I’m not in. I’m pissed, but I’ll get over it.”

However, how sad that Billy’s career in his eyes was apparently being Lindsey’s alternate in Fleetwood Mac.
